Harvey H. Cluff (1836–1916) was a business, civic and educational leader in late-19th-century Provo, Utah. Early life and marriage Cluff was born in Kirtland, Ohio on January 9, 1836, to David Cluff senior and his wife Elizabeth (Betsy) Hall. Cluff was the seventh of twelve children. David Cluff went to Kirtland to learn more of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and meet with Joseph Smith, Jr. After converting to the church, David Cluff and his family moved to Kirtland. The family later moved to Jackson County, Missouri; Springfield, Illinois and then in 1840 to Nauvoo, Illinois. He was a Mormon pioneer and settled in Utah Territory; his family traveled with the Edward Hunter Company. They left Nauvoo in 1846 and stopped in Mt. Pisgah in Iowa for two years before settling in Provo in 1850. In 1856, Cluff volunteered to help rescue stranded handcart pioneers. He married Margaret Ann Foster on January 24, 1857. They were the parents of three sons and a daughter, all of whom died as children. In 1877 Cluff began the practice of plural marriage. In 1887 he was arrested on charges of unlawful cohabitation and eventually served six months in prison. The house he had built in 1877 is on the National Register of Historic Places. Missionary work From 1865 to 1868 Cluff served as a Mormon missionary in the United Kingdom, spending part of this time as district president in Glasgow. He then was in charge of a group of Latter-day Saints crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Cluff served as a missionary from 1869 to 1874 in the Hawaiian Islands, accompanied by his wife, Margaret Ann Foster. From 1879 to 1882 Cluff returned to Hawaii and served as president of the LDS Church's Hawaiian Mission, with Margaret again accompanying him. The LDS Church was respected enough that King David Kalākaua the reigning monarch of Hawaii at the time, attended the corner stone ceremonies for a new meetinghouse. Cluff was the president of the Hawaiian Latter-day Saints colony in Iosepa, Utah from 1889 until 1890, and from 1892 until March 1901.
